Persistence and the Sheaf-Function Correspondence

The sheaf-function correspondence identifies the group of constructible functions on a real analytic manifold M with the Grothendieck group of constructible sheaves on M. When M is a finite dimensional real vector space, Kashiwara-Schapira have recently in ...

Realizing doubles: a conjugation zoo

Jérôme Scherer

Conjugation spaces are topological spaces equipped with an involution such that their fixed points have the same mod 2 cohomology (as a graded vector space, a ring and even an unstable algebra) but with all degrees divided by two, generalizing the classica ...

Robustness of In-Laboratory and Daily-Life Gait Speed Measures over One Year in High Functioning 61-to 70-Year-Old Adults

Kamiar Aminian

Introduction: Gait speed is a simple and safe measure with strong predictive value for negative health outcomes in clinical practice, yet in-laboratory gait speed seems not representative for daily-life gait speed. This study aimed to investigate the inter ...

Perceptual grouping leads to objecthood effects in the Ebbinghaus illusion

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Einat Rashal

The Ebbinghaus illusion is argued to be a product of low-level contour interactions or a higher cognitive comparison process. We examined the effect of grouping on the illusion by manipulating objecthood, i.e., the degree to which an object is a cohesive p ...

On long time behavior of solutions to nonlinear dispersive equations

Stefano Francesco Burzio

In part I, we address the issue of existence of solutions for Cauchy problems involving nonlinear hyperbolic equations for initial data in Sobolev spaces with scaling subcritical regularity. In particular, we analyse nonlinear estimates for null-forms in t ...

Performance Contracts for Software Network Functions

George Candea, Solal Vincenzo Pirelli, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer, Aikaterini Argyraki, Arseniy Zaostrovnykh, Luis David Figueiredo Mascarenhas Moreira Pedrosa

Software network functions (NFs), or middleboxes, promise flexibility and easy deployment of network services but face the serious challenge of unexpected performance behaviour. We propose the notion of a performance contract, a construct formulated in ter ...

Particle-Based Numerical Manifold Method to Model Dynamic Fracture Process in Rock Blasting

Jian Zhao, Qianbing Zhang, Xing Li

A particle-based numerical manifold method (PNMM) is developed to investigate rock fracturing behavior under dynamic loading. The basic idea of PNMM is to represent the microstructure of rock with a group of particles and to simulate the macroscopic behavi ...

Characterization of the Discrepancies Between Four-Dimensional Phase-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging and In-Silico Simulations of Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics

Bryn Andrew Martin

The purpose of the present study was to compare subject-specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with time-resolved three-directional (3D) velocity-encoded phase-contrast MRI (4D PCMRI) measurements of ...

Moduli spaces of toric manifolds

Tudor Ratiu

We construct a distance on the moduli space of symplectic toric manifolds of dimension four. Then we study some basic topological properties of this space, in particular, path-connectedness, compactness, and completeness. The construction of the distance i ...

Spectromètre pour l'étude des réactions (n, a) à 14 MeV

Jean-François Loude

A spectrometer has been constructed for the study of (n, α) reactions at 14 MeV, By detecting the 4He particle associated with neutron production, it is possible to measure the a time-of-flight in addition to the residual energy and energy loss, as measure ...
